I'm wanting to access my work system from home via LAN Distance Remote. Both
systems are running Warp 4. My understanding is that when using LAN Distance
the work system should simply appear as if it was a node on a lan. However,
my work system is already on a LAN. While I don't *need* access to the other
nodes on that LAN, I wouldn't mind. From the LAN Distance docs, the problem
seems to be that when using the version of LAN Distance Remote that comes
with Warp, I will have to reconfigure the work system using the LAN Distance
Shuttle option to disconnect it from the work LAN and configure it as a
dial-in Remote workstation. Since I typically don't know when I will want to
access the work system from home, I would much rather be able to connect to
it without having to have previously shuttled it from the lan to a remote
configuration.
According to the LAN Distance docs, a "LAN Distance Connection Server"
equipped system can connect to both a dial-up remote workstation and a LAN.
If not real expensive, this sounds ideal. I looked around Indelible Blue's
web site for info on LDCS, but didn't see it listed for sale. Is LDCS
available only with Warp Server? If not, must one get this straight from
IBM? Is there a better (i.e. less expensive) way to do what I'm wanting?
